Xenoblade Chronicles series Video Game • Page 9

The cutscenes are really long. I played this on my 45 minute commute home yesterday, and I swear the entire time I watched cut scenes lol

 

Chain attack question: I’m relatively early in chapter 3, my party is all around level 23, and my chain attack damage totals are capping out around 50-60k, and this is going through 3 full rounds.

is that about normal for my level? I see people putting up pretty wild numbers and am wondering if I just need to level up more, or if there’s something else I should be doing

edit: lol nvm just read about Ouroboros chain orders. seems like I’m understanding the system well enough otherwise

 

if you can, try to enter a chain attack just before killing an enemy so that you immediately go into overkill. best way to get a big XP boost, especially if you have an additional XP boost from cooking

i love the chain attack system

 

It is a good thing this game is a lot lighter on item collecting because I am always about 10 levels above the area I am in so monsters do not even attack me. I was not expecting the game to become the Wind Waker.

 

ahh, had no idea, this rules

 

That is amazing yeah

 

Spent my entire Labor Day doing sidequests. I am going into Chapter 7 at level 80 whoops

 

I am already at level 71 at the beginning of Chapter 6. Right now the biggest problem for me is the bottleneck of unlocking new jobs to the other 5 party members who did not inherit it. I am working on that process for four different jobs right now and it can be very time-consuming.

I am tired of them saying sparks all the time. Just say the f word or write something else.

 

snuff it!

I'm still scanning my amiibos every day because occasionally I will get rewarded 800 class succession points, which helps towards unlocking classes

 

Seemingly every Xenoblade game has a mind-numbingly bad design that just serves to irritate the player.

1 - having to keep going back to Colony 6 to see requirements.
X - having to wander around New LA every time you wanted to pick up a party member
2 - having to have Blades active to use your field skills

And now 3 requires you to have a specific Hero in your active party for their ascension quest to show up.

 

I get what you mean but for the most part you just need to equip a hero while in their home colony

 

But you could just as easily have the ? faded out and when the party moves to it it tells you. Or it can switch your party automatically, which it does when you enter discussion and need a certain hero.

 

You’d think that, but I feel like these games are like houses of systems cards that are always on the verge of collapsing, so probably if they try stuff like that it all comes crashing down lol

I do think this game has a lot of QoL improvements, compared to all previous ones. I did not see that coming at all so that’s cool.

 

It is definitely an improvement over previous games, but there are always new little things. Another annoyance is the Interlink system. Hearing the same party member say the same line over and over as you unlock nodes is exhausting. You should be able to automatically apply points.

 

Yeah I agree

Speaking of repeating lines, I’m still trying to figure out if Sena is the girl with the gall

 

Something so valuable, here

 

Completed Sena’s ascension quest last night and Shania is a brat, I have no sympathy for her

 

I play in Japanese so I don’t really notice repetition

 

Man these ascension quests is where this game really shines

 

This icon on my desktop keeps making me think I have Collectopedia cards to fulfill

 

I don't know if I will even finish the game before the new hero comes out. Chapter 6 has a lot of annoying item finding quests.

 

That’s a wrap…sad that it’s over but I still have a bunch of quests to finish before I’m truly done. What a game!

 

Is there a point of no return for non-main story quests or no?
